Hi, I have a perpetual dispute with Paypal meaning I cannot and frankly refuse to give them any business. Is it possible to have an alternative international payment method (-e.g. Bitcoin) for people like me? Thanks, Arif. (Killerclown)

This is probably just guff as with the original but a new haunted painting has "materialised" on Ebid (a UK alternative to Ebay). Here's the link out of interest: http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/haunted-painting-print-paranormal-cursed-art-haunting-disturbing-52234475.htm

You never know with World Cup Football - it's almost always unpredictable and the teams which are expected to win at the beginning frequently don't do very well. It's the unpredictability that makes it interesting. Obviously I want England to win tomorrow and they are the favourites but an...

I don't like Dolan so much now. He seems to now be an absolute believer in the ET hypothesis and government cover-up. He no longer seems open to questioning or criticism of the UFO/paranormal orthodoxy and so in my opinion is no longer credible. If we stop questioning things then we close...

I used to have my doubts but I've come round to believing wholeheartedly that Lloyd Pye exists.

Cool I always liked Nick.

What's Dead Alive - I don't think I've come across this one? Might not be out in England yet - we quite often get very strange release schedules for films that aren't the mainstream homogenised crap that passes for cinema these days. BTW best zombie film ever - "Dawn of the Dead" the...

Hi Gene, Yes I did install the latest update. It still seems slightly slower than on leopard, but it may well be that the vast number of 3rd party plugins I've installed is somehow having an unforeseen effect on the application itself. It may well also relate to a memory bug...

For me SL is both snappy for some apps and very buggy for others - I use a lot of pro apps like Logic Pro which have lots of 3rd party plugins and I suspect these to be the culprits. That said Logic Pro 9 and Aperture run worse in SL (ie much more slowly and with more crashes) than on...

Just found out after receiving the Paracast Newsletter and I just can't believe it. Although I never knew him he was one of my favourite guests on the show. I disagreed with some of his opinions but they were always logical, cogent and well reasoned. It seems we have lost another one of the...

I think these are the Marconi deaths - all the scientists had been working for Marconi at the time of their deaths. There is a tiny wikipedia article on it, unfortunately because it all happened in the 1980s there's no way to access the newspaper articles relating to it on the web. Marconi...

I used to be completely against allowing citizens to carry firearms and never understood why Americans were so fixated on this right. In recent years as we have slipped further and further into a fascist Orwellian nightmare my point of view has changed. The government and their minions will...

Tommy, Having listened to you on the paracast I thought you were a decent person. Thankfully, I know better now: I find your entire last post to be laced with the kind of casual, ignorant racism and myths about foreigners which would not be out of place in neo-nazi propaganda. I suspect...

Just whose dreams are coming true at your expense? And people in poor nations don't? They just sit around all day watching TV in their American bought mansions whilst being fed grapes by American servants don't they? If you had actually bothered to read what I said, it was your...

How is this a problem? Surely it makes sense to talk to countries in the middle east and since when is it a crime to be born in Egypt? Many Jewish people are critical of Israel as are many non Jewish people. There is no difference between the terrorists and the IDF. In fact the IDF killed...

Well, i wouldn't want in my back garden but would love to see what a snake that big looked like in the flesh on a safari or in a zoo.

Unfortunately it's a fossil and the actual snake lived about 60 million years ago. Here's the link: Scientists find world's biggest snake : Nature News

I loved this show and to be honest I could listen to Dr Zubrin talk for hours about mars and terraforming. He is one of those rare people who really knows what he is talking about and yet is able to explain in a simple and succinct way. I will definitely be buying his book. Thanks to...

- And perhaps this would lead to "high strangeness"?

Not as far as I know but it's been a while since I read the book.
